presented during the celebration
of the 150th anniversary of the
formation of the Gonstfitufcioh,
which begins on the 17th of next
September
Not only will this project be an
incentive toward" creative* writing
but it will stimulate among all
students a desire for greater
knowledge of the formation of the
Constitution.
The Commission hopes to se
cure worthy plays depicting the
constitutional history, background
of the Contitution, and the Phil
adelphia Convention, which will
bo extensively used in schools,
churches, and organized groups of
men, women and youth.
The general plan of operation

school students (juniors and sen
iors) in a one act play; (2) com
petition for students in col
leges .and universities in a (One

Here’s How You
Can Earn Some
Extra Money
Are you broke? Wouldn’t you
like to have a pocket full of money?
Well Uncle Gil has the plan which
will enable all members of his
club to |iave a substantial sum
of ready cash with them at all times
All you have to do is to sell cop
ies of the OMAHA GUIDE in your
neighborhood on Saturdays and
during your spare time on Fridays
The OMAIHA GUIDE is in the
mid"t of a campaign for Guidite
agents and boy and girl member*
of our club, are being urged to rally
to the cause
The Guide sells retail for five
cents and sold to our agents for
three cents wholesale, hence an
agent makes two cents on each
sale, just think, if you sell one hun
dred Guides, you will have two
dollars for yourself.
It’s possible to make as high a*
$12-50 a week, so start today and
write the circulation department
of the OMAHA GUIDE for further
details
I Address all correspondence to
2418 Grant St-, Omaha, Nebr.
One of our loyal Guidites, Miss
Louise Nash, of Clarinda, Iowa,
sold 10 papers last week and has
ordered 15 for this week. She re
ports that she had received many
good compliments on the improve
ment of The Omaha Guide and
that more people are becoming in
terested in it, so much so that she
feels that in a very short time ev
ery colored family in Clarinda will
be reading the Guide. Keep up the
good work Mis» Nash and I am
sure the populace of Clarinda will
make you the ace representative of
the Guidite club.
Yours truly,
Uncle Gil
